On this view, an atom of A´kása = Bh(Sb) of Váyu = { Bh(Sb) } (Sp) of Tejas = { Bh(Sb) } (Sp) Rp where Bh = भूतादि, Sb = शब्दतन्मात्र, Sp = स्पर्श तन्मात्र, Rp = रूपतन्मात्र, and so on. - [Previous: v2.c34.137](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.137) - [Next: v2.c34.139](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.139) - [Up: v2.c34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.138](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.138) · Pramāṇa
